In the 2007 movie, directed by Garry Moore, Jade plays public schoolgirl Sofie, with the description reading: "Sofie is taken to visit her father's new girlfriend, the reception from her two teenage daughters isn't quite what Sofie had hoped for.
"Barriers of class, race and jealousy prevent the girls from being friends, and in the heat of an argument a secret is revealed which rocks Sofie's world."
She stars alongside Byker Grove's Altea Claveras and Made in Tyne and Wear's Hazel Pude.
Clips from the film have now resurfaced on social media site TikTok, and fans can not believe that she started out on screen.

Commenting on the film's YouTube video, Garry previously said of working with Jade: "She was the nicest person to work with. Really lovely girl, and a very talented actress as well.
"I saw her in the stage musical 'We Will Rock You' before I cast her in Skin. She is good friends with the blonde girl in the film who I knew before meeting Jade."
The beauty is now one third of the biggest girl group in the UK, shooting to fame in Little Mix on The X Factor back in 2011.
She, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, and Jesy Nelson have enjoyed worldwide success over the past decade, with Jesy sensationally quitting the group in December.
